She needs to screenshot this exchange in case other family members come at her later, because that aunt will absolutely slag her off to other people and completely rewrite the entire conversation in the retelling.

Very generous of her to "be willing to let" them photograph (for free) her trashing her wedding dress the day after. Is "Trash the Dress" a thing? I avoid people in general, and weddings especially, so I've never heard of this. It seems incredibly wasteful and stupid.
Mike Fitzpatrick 2 years ago
If she's so great at it perhaps she should take her own photos. 15 years as a photog she should be able to pull it off. I had an organist friend who's buddy played his own wedding.
Preparing to tie the knot is an incredibly exciting time for any couple. Not only are they more in love than they’ve ever been before, they have a huge day to look forward to. Soon, they’ll be declaring their love for one another in front of all of their closest friends and family members, and they have a lifetime of joy and happiness to look forward to. But along with all of the excitement, there’s plenty of planning to be done. Dresses and suits must be chosen, cakes must be tasted, catering must be ordered, flowers must be picked, invitations must be sent out, venues must be booked and more.
So it’s understandable that brides and grooms often become overwhelmed with everything they have on their plates. Their loved ones are typically prepared to exercise more patience than usual and do whatever they can to help out. However, once the husband and wife-to-be pass into Choosing Beggar territory, they’re bound to be roasted online. This subreddit, which has an incredible 2.4 million members, is dedicated to calling out individuals “who are being way too picky when begging for things,” and clearly, there is no shortage of nuptial-themed content in the group.

We’ve all heard the stereotypes of brides turning into “bridezillas” and going way over the top with demands for their big days, but where does this behavior come from? Perhaps part of it is the societal pressure to have a perfect wedding day and all of the stress that accompanies that. If everyone is expecting all of the details of your big day to be stunning and flawless, you might feel overwhelmed and have a strong urge to micromanage every single tiny detail. If the flowers aren’t perfect, you may have a conniption, and if your friends don’t RSVP by tomorrow, they’ll all be uninvited!
No one understands the stress of planning a wedding until they’ve been through it themselves, and even then, every ceremony is different. Brides and grooms can feel isolated when they’re on their own trying to pull together a huge celebration, meanwhile they’re supposed to be the happiest they’ve ever been at the same time. There’s no excuse for demanding free photos, ordering a wedding cake days in advance or requiring guests to all wear the same color, but it’s possible that some engaged couples put so much pressure on themselves that they stop acting like themselves at all. At least, I hope the individuals on this list don’t treat people like this all the time!

Caterers welcome to come setup a sample table too, for a small fee of $5000
Magpie 2 years ago
MAYBE asking photographers if they'd like to shoot a wedding at an amazing location for free (someone might be willing if they wanted the experience or to use it in their portfolio/website), but to expect the photographer to pay them AND eat the cost of editing/printing/compiling a digital copy of the pictures is just an astounding display of audacity. If it's just the ceremony being photographed, someone might be interested in doing it for free but she's not even offering that; she wants to be paid like she's a model. I'm guessing that she's "willing to promote them" on social media, to all of her 75 followers. She's going to need to invite a family member or friend to take pictures of her wedding.

Another reason why couples might put so much weight on their big days being perfect is because they’ve likely put an incredible amount of money into the ceremony and reception. The average wedding in the United States in 2022 cost about $30,000, with many couples taking out loans or optimizing their credit cards to fund the big day. If you spend the same amount of money on a single celebration that you could have used to purchase a new car, you might be feeling stressed too. Which is possibly another reason why many couples on this list are so cheap when it comes to paying for cakes, catering, photographers and more. Again, it’s not an excuse for their entitled and tacky behavior, but it might explain some of it.

My wife and I did our wedding on a dime (I lost my job a month prior to the big day) the most expensive thing was the dress and then getting me a nice jacket to wear. It's a day. A single day. It doesn't matter the cost of the day. What matters is you're starting a life together with the person you love. Whether you spend $100 or $10000 what matters is you love who you're walking down the aisle with and want to spend the rest of your life with them.

These "infuencers" think they are sooo important with only 500 or 1000 followers. They need millions to have any kind of impact.
According to VeryWell Mind, some of the most common symptoms of wedding stress are being unable to focus, having difficulty making decisions, feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope, forgetfulness, constant worrying, irritability, depression, panic attacks, exhaustion, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite, low immunity, digestive issues, muscle tension and more. But it’s the best day of your life, right? And of course, it doesn’t have to be this way. Planning ahead, staying organized, delegating responsibilities, avoiding comparisons, setting boundaries, practicing self-care and ensuring that the process is fun can help to alleviate stress. Maintaining relationships and resisting the urge to push people away with ridiculous demands can be very important as well!

They finally moved in a month and a half ago. Their house is absolutely gorgeous. It has a pool and a tennis court. I know that she can get her pool covered, and removing the nets from the tennis court would open up a world of possibilities and give us so much space to work with. She was unhappy when I brought it up. Apparently she didn't want people coming in and out setting up the place, then giving up a spare bedroom or two to me and my bridesmaids and having makeup artists come into her house. I don't get the big deal. She can still stay inside and watch the ceremony over zoom, or even better- her balcony. I mean, this is the only way that I can get all 60 of my guests to attend, without cutting down more. I don't get why she doesn't want to compromise. She doesn't have to attend in person if she doesn't

I've been invited to TWO wedding receptions that were potluck. The first one actually had outstanding food. The second one I didn't attend.
When it comes to dealing with a bride who wants everything exactly her way, Shay says, “You have to be extremely calm and supportive of ‘unreasonable' brides, even if it's tough and can sometimes make you sick. When you understand the basic psychology behind it - that this is the BIGGEST day in their lives, it makes it easier to deal with. If there are items or things that you really cannot provide - you must come up with a smart answer that details all the reasons why you cannot provide them with the item or service. And most importantly - do it diplomatically, with lots of ‘I'm so sorry!’”

This is a pathetically common scenario where someone (wedding, or a business) suggests that a band play "for exposure".

“We totally get the brides who become overwhelmed with stress when planning their weddings, even the most ‘unreasonable' brides,” Shay previously told Bored Panda. “We know how stressful it can get, but you need to always look at the other side as well. Wedding vendors will do their utmost to provide you with your wish, but it's not always possible to get EXACTLY what you want. You need to accept that and find creative ways to change your dream just a little bit.”

Woman Wants A Wedding Dress For $10 Dollars
Bobby 2 years ago (edited)
I've only dabbled a bit into things like crochet, sewing, embroidery. Very amateur stuff. I don't think I would even consider making a wedding dress for less than 1000. Actually i wouldn't consider it at all, but if i was competent, maybe. You want cheap, canvas retail shops, lower your expectations to your price range, mass produced options, whatever. You want hand made be prepared to spend

Basically: “We Received Over 100 Gifts For Our Wedding....why Didn’t I Get More?”
Herringbone 2 years ago (edited)
Friends put a gift list in a large store in Cardiff, and I bought them something from it. I attended the wedding. Nine months later, the store realised they hadn't delivered the gifts on the list - during that time my friends thought I'd accepted their hospitality at the reception without giving a gift (not that they were upset by this), and I thought they were ungrateful for not acknowledging it (which was uncharacteristic of them). Fortunately we all saw the funny side.
Sonja 2 years ago
Yeah, but then it would have been proper to kindly say something from either side, what if the store had not realised the mistake and no one had said anything about it? Neither the wedding couple bor the guests? I'd asked after a while if they received the gift. Just to make sure it was actually delivered, if they hadn't acknowledged it at any point. That's the reason why people should always send a thank you note if they receive gifts and kindly ask if no note or anything comes forward.

Wait a second the did not "SEND" you a gift? So are we talking about six "close friends" who did not attend the actual wedding? Why tf should they send you anyting if they could not attend or were not invited? Girl.
Carbonel 2 years ago
In the UK, gifts are usually bought from a store gift list and delivered at a time chosen by the bride and groom, not brought along on the day by the guests. This is probably what this means.

That was a really nice response from the photographer, I'd have been much less happy
Personally, I love attending weddings, but I have to admit that if I encountered a bride or groom like those featured on this list, I would be quick to RSVP that I won’t be coming! We hope you’re finding some amusement in all of these ridiculous engaged couples, pandas, and be sure to keep upvoting the pics you find most appalling. Feel free to share any more stories of bride or groomzillas in the comments, and then if you’re interested in reading another Bored Panda article that will make you hesitant to attend any more weddings any time soon, look no further than right here!

Cb Bride Says You Should Reevaluate
Angharad Eatough 2 years ago
the point of a wedding gift is that you do it willingly not because the bride throws a tantrum if you don't
Amelia Jade 2 years ago
Gifts are not the point of those occasions. Or at least they shouldn't be. A wedding is about asking your friends and family to witness you and your SO making a commitment to one another. It's about doing this huge thing and wanting to share it with those you love most. Birthdays are the same. If I throw a bday party for myself, it's because I want to spend time with those I love on what is a special occasion. Their being present for the occasion, and spending their time with me IS them thinking about me. I don't need them to spend money to prove they thought of me. Gifts are lovely, they should never be expected.

Why not just put gift cards to your local hardware store on your registry? Seems much classier than saying you expect cash donations.

When my aunt asked me what I wanted as a graduation gift, I went, "Oh, uh, well, I want to get through college without debt-" and she goes, "Just say you want money, it's fine" ITS PEOPLE LIKE THIS THAT MAKE IT NOT FINE. I don't expect anything, by the way, but if people ask I just wanna politely say why I want what I do...
Lena Flising 2 years ago
I'd say a registry is even more important for two households coming together. It's more specific what you need. If it's a young couple moving from parents, and creating a new household, then they need almost everything.
Phoenix Haessal 2 years ago (edited)
Except for the expecting gifts part, imo it sounds fine. Like, if the guests came here to check what they could give as a present, that problem is solved now (?)

What Do You Mean You Don't Want To My Make Up For Free And Drive 3 Hours To Do So?! I'm Inviting You To My Very Small Wedding! From Book Of Faces
Magpie 2 years ago (edited)
I don't really have an issue with this one. She's laid out her request without a feeling of demand and entitlement. It's not uncommon for people new in certain professions to do some work free or very low fees to build their portfolios and reputation. She asked for quotes, so is clearly expecting to pay something. She also offered to sit for practice, which I take as meaning practice outside of her wedding makeup. She is willing to use an untested MUA for her wedding (I assume many brides would want a lot of experience for little/zero fees) and appears willing to compromise on her actual wedding look. Her response to any quotes will determine if she's entitled/ridiculous, but this looks reasonable for the time being. Edit to add: that girl on the right is absolutely beautiful; the retro look suits her. I wish I looked even half as good but I'd look like a retro clown trying way too hard.
Laughing Orc 2 years ago
Totally agree. For a student or inexperienced MUA having a wedding in their portfolio and a wiling test subject for other looks could be very valuable, and as you said, she's asking in a polite way, not being entitled and demanding.

When did so many people get the idea they're so entitled to a big wedding that it's okay to ask strangers for handouts?

I hope at least some of these were put in their place.

You are getting married. It’s your choice. You pay for it. If you want an expensive extravaganza then that’s up to you. Your guests, the venue, the photographer, the DJ, the florist, the dressers of the room, in fact no one who is associated with the wedding apart from the Bride and Groom have any responsibility for the financial well-being of this event. Stop expecting others to bank roll your event, if you can’t afford it there’s no shame in an intimate and cheaper wedding, it’s not about showing your financial muscle, it’s about sharing your love for one another and your commitment to your significant other half. Stop thinking it’s about ‘fairytales’ and social media exposure, it’s your wedding FFS concentrate on the marriage bit eh?
